My (rather hacky) solution was to add the following to my Xgl startup script (just before running gnome-session):

Code:

cookie="$(xauth -i nextract - :0 | cut -d ' ' -f 9)"
xauth -i add :1 . "$cookie"

This clones the xauth cookie from :0 into :1.

Let me know if this works for you; I've tried it on two systems now and it seems to work, at least when using GDM.

this worked for me too... thx a lot

here is my /usr/bin/startxgl

Code:

#!/bin/sh
Xgl :1 -fullscreen -ac -accel xv:pbuffer -accel glx:pbuffer &
DISPLAY=:1

cookie="$(xauth -i nextract - :0 | cut -d ' ' -f 9)"
xauth -i add :1 . "$cookie"

exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session

In a Terminal window:

Code:

sudo touch /usr/local/bin/fix-logout-dialog.sh
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/fix-logout-dialog.sh
sudo gedit /usr/local/bin/fix-logout-dialog.sh

Then, inside fix-logout-dialog.sh I have:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

# Get my cookies in place for Restart and Shutdown buttons on Logout Window...
export DISPLAY=:1
cookie="$(xauth -i nextract - :0 | cut -d ' ' -f 9)"
xauth -i add :1 . "$cookie"

As a simple test, click your "Log off" button and make sure that the Restart and Shutdown buttons are *NOT* there. Then, in the Terminal window run:

Code:

/usr/local/bin/fix-logout-dialog.sh

Note, you don't need to sudo it. Click your "Log off" button again and the Reboot and Shutdown buttons should now be there.

As a final step, go to System/Preferences/Sessions, select the Startup Programs tab and add an entry for /usr/local/bin/fix-logout-dialog.sh - the Restart and Shutdown buttons should now stay there consistently.

Could someone try this out under Kubuntu and let me know if it works?

Thanks alot, this is what worked best for me. I had tried the solution of adding a file under /etc/X11/sessions and that worked also, but for some reason this method disabled my icon theme. The above method did only what was wanted, enabled my shutdown/restart.

Thanks again AlwaysLearning!

I tried those solution on kubuntu and it doesn't work.

My scripts:

maverick@maverick:~% cat /usr/share/xsessions/xgl.desktop 3:23
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Xgl
Comment=Start an Xgl Session
Exec=/usr/bin/startxgl
Icon=
Type=XSession

maverick@maverick:~% cat /usr/bin/startxgl 3:24
#!/bin/bash
Xgl :1 -fullscreen -ac -accel xv

buffer -accel glx

buffer -br &
DISPLAY=:1
export KDEWM="/usr/bin/beryl-manager"
cookie="$(xauth -i nextract - :0 | cut -d ' ' -f 9)"
xauth -i add :1 . "$cookie"
exec startkde

Any idea what could be wrong ?

I found a solution:

In /var/run/xdmct directory you should make some symbolic links:
(if you xserver is on :0 and xgl on :1)

maverick:/var/run/xdmctl# ln -s dmctl-:0 dmctl-:1
maverick:/var/run/xdmctl# ln -s xdmctl-:0 xdmctl-:1

That's all.

I am running KUBUNTU but I don't see a xdmct directory, I see a xdmctl directory?

The other question I have is how exactly and where do I make these links?

Can anyone help?

the_saint07

Please help...

When I originally instaled beryl i encountered this problem and applying the first solution mentioned could deal with it.

But now after some updates or something my two buttons are gone again. i check all the scripts i made the first time and all of them are intact. I tryed the solution on post 62 but it didn't work for me.

I couldn't apply the last maverick solution because didn't find the xdmcl directory.

thanks... this does solve the problem ... but only for my root account..

i added the following lines to my "startxgl.sh" script...

Code:

ln -s /var/run/xdmctl/dmctl-:0 /var/run/xdmctl/dmctl-:1
ln -s /var/run/xdmctl/xdmctl-:0 /var/run/xdmctl/xdmctl-:1

the soflink (symlink) happens through this script only when i log in as root... else i have to create the symlinks myself (as root) in order to see the buttons....
the symbolic links also disappear every time i reboot... is there any way to make them stay permanently in "/var/run/xdmctl" ?

if not, then is there any other script (which is always run with root privelages at startup) that i can append these lines to :

Code:

ln -s /var/run/xdmctl/dmctl-:0 /var/run/xdmctl/dmctl-:1
ln -s /var/run/xdmctl/xdmctl-:0 /var/run/xdmctl/xdmctl-:1

so that the symbolic links are always created in /var/run/xdmctl at startup?

is there any way i can add these commands to a script and have them create the symlinks at startup (as root) so that i can see the buttons as any user running xgl?
